During a recent episode of "The Stephen A. Smith Show" podcast, the longtime sports commentator weighed in on the Titan submersible tragedy.

He then appeared to momentarily get sidetracked and commented on Batman's status in the superhero pantheon. 

"I love the movie Aquaman," Smith noted. "I don't consider Batman a super man. I just consider him a human being with a costume on. When I watched Jason Momoa in Aquaman, it had me wishing I was Aquaman."

Smith then admitted that he personally tends to avoid many "adventurous" activities.

"I'm not the most adventurous brother in the world," he noted. "I'm not trying to skydive. I'm not a fish. I'm still mad at Shaq [O'Neal] when he did that damn experiment with the sharks. What the hell's wrong with you?"
